Abstract: The steel manufacturing process is characterized by the requirement of expeditious development of high quality products at low cost through the effective use of available resources. Identifying solutions that meet the ...

Abstract: We hypothesize that by providing decision support for designers we can speed up the design process and facilitate the creation of quality cost-effective designs. One of the challenges in providing design decision support ...

Abstract: The design of complex engineering systems requires that the problem is decomposed into subproblems of manageable size. From the perspective of decision-based design (DBD), typically this results in a set of hierarchical ...
